Calibrating the Tip Height
Tip height is the distance from the tip to the xture plate surface. The tip height must be calibrated and then
recalibrated as needed to compensate for slight variations in height that occur when changes are made to the
system, primarily nozzle or tip change-out.
NOTE: For information on when to calibrate the tip height, to “About Tip Height” on page19.
Systems without a Tip Detector
If your system does not include the optional tip detector, follow these procedures to calibrate the tip height and then
to manually recalibrate the tip height after a same-to-same dispensing tip change.
NOTE: The optional tip detector can be added to a existing system. Refer to “Tip Alignment Kit” on page79.
Set a Calibration Point (Initial Setup for Needle Adjust)
The system uses a calibration point for the Needle Adjust function to recalibrate the tip height after a same-to-same
dispensing tip change.
